MOT at 9am a la Rocket Centre, wish me luck :mrgreen:

The NC24 hasn't been on the road since the end of 2001 but I'm sure I've sorted everything :pray:

Oh c'mon guys, it's an NC24 with all the love and attention he's lavished on it, it will have sailed through the test and, naturally he's gone out for a spin. 8-)

One green ticket proudly in my hand :mrgreen:

Only 4 advisories - rear tyre only 1.6mm tread (which I knew about anyway), rear brake dragging slightly, small blow on collector (again!) and levers hitting clocks.

All in all a nice happy morning :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Getting her taxed from 1st December when Sprint tax runs out so I can use her while I do a few repairs and refurb the Sprint to sell in the spring.


Oh, the exhaust sound even with the blow is pure porn! :drool: :drool: :drool:

I prefer the 180 firing sound of the NC24.

The NC30 sounds nice but alien, doesn't sound like the engines running right, it may grow on me yet though :ugeek:

Amen to that! :pray:

Just riding the few miles to Rocket this morning, it was sounding like a Ferarri V8 :drool: :drool: :drool:


One annoying thing I found this morning is that a little red light pops up menacingly when I hit 90kph :twisted: Anyone want a dash bulb? :mrgreen:

Nice one. Depite all the love and attention we lavish on our bikes I always think it's a releif to get a pass.
I've had a tester fail my bike because the left lever fouled the clocks. Even the garage owner sid he was being a dick because all nc30s do. The garage boss lent me a 10mm spanner to appease the MOT tester just so I could move the lever down.
Glad you got your bike passed.
